As many of you folks well know, a lot of work goes into the making of a film that never will see the screen due to editing or script cuts or the like. Here we have such a casualty. When working on the production of the CGI film TMNT (2007), there were many many cool characters that I got to work on. One such character that in the end never made it to the screen was The Shaman. He was to be part of the opposing force to Max Winters/Yaotl. The Shaman and their forces were routed when Winters accidentally loosed the 13 Beasts upon the world. Alas due to time the scenes with this character were cut at the storyboard stage and never made it to animation.

After completion of my stint on TMNT I did some creature design work for another potential project. Alas this project never came to fruition... It would have been a lot of fun. Here are a few of my beasties that I did for that unrealised endeavor.

Back while I was on the Avengers, I was became a big fan of Batman: The Brave and The Bold. I kept hoping to see some of the villains of my childhood in the 70's show up. Most did. In any case, I wanted to see how the Atomic Skull might've looked in that context, so I took a pass on it. A bit of fan art if you will.

In my professional endeavors I have many clients, but among my favorites are the great fellows over at the Major Spoilers / Critical Hit podcasts. I have enjoyed their audio greatness for many years now, so I was really pleased to assist them in one of their current endeavors.

This week they are announcing the official Critical Hit Character Designs that I created for them based on their excellent adventures that are found on the Critical Hit podcast. They will introduce a character and design to you each day.

Those who have been listening to Season Four: Lords of the Feywild, know that the crew has finally invited a female player to the game table, and Adriana’s take on Elves is in play in the form of Trelle.
